*** Winter Weather Advisory 6 PM Through Noon Thursday ***

The next 24 hours will be very
interesting and messy at the same time. The difference between snow, sleet and
freezing rain can be fractions of a degree at various levels of the atmosphere
so this will be a complicated forecast. I would expect all three forms during
the overnight hours beginning with mostly snow this evening hours followed by a
sleet mix from the late evening into the early hours after midnight as a
slightly warmer layer of air works in aloft. The sleet will likely transition
to freezing rain a couple hours before sunrise leaving our area with a
combination of a snow, sleet and icy crust on the ground measuring less than an
inch but very much a problem for travelers. The freezing rain will likely not
be thick enough for wide spread power outages and tree damage but sporadic
damage is certainly possible Thursday morning. Stay inside if you can, stay
warm and stay tuned!
